So the 450 weighs 360 pounds and makes I think between 30-35 horse power. So it's pretty peppy because of the low weight and fairly agile because of it too. Let's says it's not as plush as the typical cruiser but still comfortable to do a few hundred miles no problem. I think we worked out the power to weight is pretty similar to that of a 883 Harley sportster.
While we don't ship them directly we have customers on the isle of man, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and I honestly want to say Australia. We do use iKon shocks which come from Australia though.🙃
~15k which seems steep but when over 70% of the bike is made in America, in small quantities, and largely by hand it isn't cheap to produce. It isn't for everyone and it isn't meant to be. Someday I hope we grow enough to start offering a "better" value by getting better deals on parts because of our purchasing power so it is a bit more accessible.
Exactly I've been riding for 18 years
I had my first kid a few years ago and had a 1985 vw with an engine swap with individual carbs and an Audi that had water damage and it finally started rearing is head after 7 years of ownership. With those I had a 96 ZX6R but I needed a reliable vehicle that was kid friendly. So I sold the bike and scraped the Audi and "bought" one. I have two kids now and another on the way and it just isn't top priority. Plus I have the ability to borrow shop bikes on most occasions.
I epa certify the 250 line and do the majority of the "final checks" of all bikes. I also make the oil lines for the 450s and designed the wiring harness for the 450s. Every once in a while I will actually assemble bikes if the main builders go on vacation.
Edit: I have other responsible too but those are the main things.
Yeah but it's not the same even though it is essentially.

Man, I forgot all about notification LEDs. My list is practically identical to yours.
Well, I think I am probably the only employee with an account and I'm definitely not the one to be answering questions. However I think we try to do a live stream where questions will be answered on our YouTube every Friday.
